So I've never played minecraft before.... Why was that kid screaming as if he actually fell into the magma? Read more
Seems to just be a personal preference to me. I like both. Can't say I'd mind the game looking either way. Read more
JCVD wants to show you his Thailand.
I must say I'm not wanting to come across as critical towards the talented Uncharted art team. I love the stuff you guys make, your games are absolutely amazing, and I know this game isn't out for a while yet so I'm not trying to be negative whatsoever.

I agree that Naughty Dog's presentation doesn't look all that great compared to his regraded images. Also, the quality of the monitor and cables used can make a difference in the quality of color displayed as well. Read more
This is interesting but I don't think it's fair to judge the color grading based on compressed youtube footage. Media players and compression changes the way color looks, sometimes dramatically. Read more
I saw the cosplayer in the header image at PAX Prime 2014. He was actually at the Shadow of Mordor booth. I saw him again on the street eating a sandwich, which was probably the coolest thing ever. Read more
